I took out my pannauto fmic today and replaced it with the perrin fmic and there is a huge difference in the routing of pipes. The pannauto kit requires a substantial amount of cutting to get it in but the perrin is an absolute pita (pain in the ass) to get in there. With the direct line that the perrin pipes take there are some coolant and ac lines that need to be bent and the ac condenser has to be relocated to a lower position and all the lines are aluminum and need to be bent. It took me about 5 hours by myself to install the perrin, but remember I had done this once already so someone who has never done it before should allow some more time and should plan on having someone help them.
Thanks to Cullen at **********.com for getting it for me. He was actually supposed to be at my house to help me install it Tuesday morning but he convienetly showed up after I was already done, no big deal. He is the man when it comes to parts for the msp.
I have a couple of issues with the perrin though. For the price paid the perrin should be flawless and there should be no issues. The bolts required to mount the new bumper support were not included and the intercooler is not perfectly centered in the bumper opening. You can see that it is off center in the final picture.
Here are some pics of both fmic kits.
